Nottingham Forest questions raised after Brentford defeat

Nottingham Forest supporters have delivered their verdict to the 2-1 defeat at Brentford.

Steve Cooper's side led 1-0 at the break through Danilo, before the hosts retrieved a result in the latter stages. The Brazilian scored his second goal in as many games.

However, his afternoon turned sour when he was forced off, with what appeared to be a muscular injury. Ivan Toney then scored the equaliser in the final minutes, before Josh Dasilva struck the winner in stoppage time as the visitors came away empty handed.

Forest remain 17th place, just one point away from the relegation zone and welcome relegation rivals Southampton at home on Monday (May 8).

Here's how the Reds' faithful responded to the defeat on social media...

Steve: "Upset doesn't quite cut it."

Jayke: "Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Another joke. Please don’t play Ayew again. Navas should save that freekick but Kouyate shouldn’t give it away. MUST beat Southampton. MUST MUST MUST."

CoreyNFFC: "Coopers thrown that one away with the Ayew sub and defending for our lives at 1-0 we were asking to lose."

Darren: "Cheers for the awesome tactical changes again, Cooper. Taking off Mangala, who was arguably our best player on the pitch."

Ryan: "Terrible, terrible subs and game management once again. How can we keep throwing games away like this? Absolutely shocking."

Chris: "I FEEL SICK!!! How have we not got anything from that game?"

Finzoforest: "Sit back for 50 minutes and that’s what happens."

Twheatman: "We managed the game well and were really unlucky. Absolutely gutting result."

RyanWal: "Fair play, gutted like but with what we’ve got and the injuries I think we’re at the best we could be. First half defensively class. Been done by a set piece and finishing with 10 men. All about Southampton game now. U reds."

Tom Richardson: "Poor today. We weren’t good all game, but we sat so deep from 60 mins onwards with no outlets once Brennan and Taiwo had gone off. Just invited the pressure and it was inevitable. Navas got to do better, saves that and we at least take a point!"

Alex: "Played well for the most part, no idea what he sees in Ayew, just makes next Monday all the bigger now."

Shaun Murray: "Unfortunately, Monday we’ll be back in the bottom 3, regardless."

WJ: "Think we're done now."

David: "Well done Cooper, the subs you picked and brought on cost us 3 points."

Andy Mcgahey: "Tough to take, can't fault players' effort, poor tactics and game management cost us. Onto Southampton."

Josh: "23 points dropped from winning positions."

Marek Hollands: "This is on Cooper this one - poor subs. Twice we use all subs and end up playing with ten men."

Orbitalforest: "Back to normal then. Can't hold a lead."
